Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

1/12 - 5/6 = -9/12

We need to get a common denominator of 12

1/12 - 5/6*2/2 = -9 /12

1/12 - 10/12 = -9/12

Since the denominators are the same, we can subtract the numerators

1-10 = -9

-9/12 = - 9/12

We can simplify -9/12 by dividing the top and bottom by 3

-9/3 = -3

12 /3 = 4

-9/12 = -3/4

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

1/12 - 5/6 = -9/12

1st, we need to identify the Least Common Multiplier of 12 and 6

in this case, the LCM is 12

for 5/6 = (5*2) / (6*2) = 10/12

2nd, adjust the fractions based on the LCM

= 1 / 12  -  10 / 12

= 1 - 10 / 12

= -9 / 12 ---- simplify   -3 / 4

Alex17521 [72]

Answer: 0.23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : F is the event "works in the finishing department;"

and A is the event "is absent excessively."

Given : 10% of all plant employees work in the finishing department; 20% of all plant employees are absent excessively; and 7% of all plant employees work in the finishing department and are absent excessively.

i.e. P(A)= 0.20 ;  P(F)=0.10 ; P(A ∩ F) = 0.07

We know that P(X\cup Y)=P(X)+P(Y)-P(X\cap Y)

Then,

P(A\cup F)=P(A)+P(F)-P(A\cap F)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(A\cup F)=0.20+0.10-0.07=0.23

Hence, the required answer is P(A\cup F)=0.23
